Bingo, a game that is becoming more and more popular each and every year especially with big money up for grabs in the majority of cases.

‘50 Shades of Grey’ (2015), ‘The Blair Witch Project’ (1999) and ‘Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace’ (1999) have been named as three of the most snooze-inducing films of all time, according to a new study. Although this particular study is one that is raising a few eyebrows with me personally. 50 Shades of…
It’s truly a shame that not enough parents with young children took a chance on this movie in America (it died a quick box-office death a couple of years ago), but thankfully the rest of the world knows what’s up, and the film became a success in the long run. From where I sit, Shaun…
The Netflix romantic comedy series Love is one of my favorite recent television addictions, and I can’t wait for season three to launch – does anyone have any news as to a premiere date?

What a nice surprised it was earlier this week when I was invited to see a very early screening of The Disaster Artist starring James and Dave Franco. A movie spoof representation of the best, worst movie of all time The Room. A film that has gained a cult following over the years for it’s…
There’s long been a place in Hollywood for skilled fighters and martial arts masters. While many pugilists find a natural home behind-the-scenes as stunt artists and fight choreographers, a few charismatic fighters make it in front of the camera, becoming certified action stars in their own right. One such star is Iko Uwais who stormed…

Feeling more relevant than ever, Abel Ferrara’s vivacious and scandalous film Welcome to New York possesses an intense sexual energy that’s largely been absent from movies in recent years. Yes, sex is constantly on display in the movies, but this film resonates with a fierceness that feels exciting and troubling all at once. It plays…
Fresh off of the blatantly transgressive Nightcrawler, Dan Gilroy delivers his next feature, Roman J. Israel, Esq., that walks a similar dark path as his previous film but doesn’t quite get there; including stellar performances from Denzel Washington in the title role, Carmen Ejogo, and a remarkable turn from Colin Farrell; the films irregular narrative…
Unlike the sea of critics out there forever comparing movies to current worldly issues, views, opinions and all that other rubbish. It’s with great pleasure that I’m still able to go to a film and enjoy it for what it is. A movie. Thankfully it’s not something I look too deep into when going into…
